Skyview Location: How to Get There

Reaching the top of Stockholm is easier than you think. SkyView is attached to the iconic Avicii Arena (formerly the Ericsson Globe)—the world’s largest spherical building—so you literally can’t miss it. Whether you are taking a quick 10-minute Metro ride from the city center to the Globen station or driving in, your journey to the sky is straightforward and stress-free. Use the guide below to plan your route so you can spend less time navigating and more time enjoying the breathtaking views waiting for you at the summit.

How To Get to Skyview

No matter where you are starting from in Stockholm, the journey to SkyView is designed to be as seamless as the ride to the top. The Avicii Arena serves as a central hub in the Johanneshov district, perfectly integrated into the city’s world-class public transit network and easily accessible by main roads. Whether you prefer the speed of the Metro, the freedom of a bike, or the comfort of your own car, we have mapped out every option below to help you pick the smartest route for your day.

Driving to SkyView offers flexibility, especially for families or groups. Access is straightforward via the E20 highway; just follow the clear signage for Johanneshov and Avicii Arena. Once you arrive in the Globen district, you will find ample parking facilities, including the massive Arenagaraget directly underneath the arena area. While traffic in Stockholm can be busy during rush hour, having your own vehicle means you can leave on your own schedule after enjoying the views.

The Metro (Tunnelbana) is widely considered the smoothest and most popular way to reach us. Simply hop on the Green Line (number 19 or 29) heading south towards Hagsätra or Högdalen. You’ll disembark at the Globen station, where the Avicii Arena’s silhouette is unmistakable. The ride from T-Centralen (Stockholm Central) takes just over 10 minutes, making it the perfect option for those who want to skip traffic and start their adventure immediately.

If you prefer an above-ground view of the city, Stockholm’s extensive bus network has you covered. The Gullmarsplan major transit hub is just a short 5-minute walk from SkyView and is served by numerous lines, including the 4, 144, 164, and several 800-series buses from the Tyresö area. Alternatively, you can take buses that stop directly at Slakthuset (Globen). It’s a convenient choice if you are coming from cross-town locations like Södermalm or Nacka without needing to transfer through the central station.

For visitors coming from the suburbs or greater Stockholm region, the Commuter Train (Pendeltåg) is a rapid connector. Take the train to Årstaberg Station, then switch seamlessly to the Tv ärbanan (light rail) aiming for Sickla; get off at the Globen stop. This route often beats the city center crowds and drops you right at our doorstep. If you are arriving by long-distance rail at Stockholm Central, simply transfer underground to the Metro Green Line for the final leg of your journey.

Stockholm is a world-class cycling city, and reaching us on two wheels is a scenic delight. Dedicated bike lanes, such as the Arenaleden, connect the trendy Södermalm district directly to the arena area. The ride is safe, well-marked, and takes you through some beautiful parts of the city. Once you arrive, you don’t need to worry about security—there are approximately 1,000 bicycle parking spaces available adjacent to the Tele2 Arena, ensuring your bike is safe while you ascend to the sky.

For the active urban explorer, walking to SkyView is a fantastic way to soak in the local atmosphere. From the heart of Södermalm, it is a brisk and beautiful 20-minute walk across the Skanstullsbron bridge. The pedestrian path offers its own stunning views of the water and the approaching arena sphere. It is a direct, uncomplicated route that lets you burn a few calories before enjoying the leisurely gondola ride to the top.
